LITERATURE/CULTURE The Korean Vernacular Story
Kingdoms of Memory, Empires of Ink
Telling Tales of Contemporary Chosŏn in Sinographic Writing
The Veda and the Regional Print Cultures of Colonial India
Si Nae Park
Cezary Galewicz
Si Nae Park examines how the culture of Chosŏn Seoul gave rise to a new vernacular literary form (yadam), anonymously and unofficially circulating tales. She focuses on the collection Repeatedly Recited Stories of the East, which was written in a new medium in which Literary Sinitic is hybridized with the vernacular realities of Chosŏn society.
This book examines the unusual concept of the book that developed in South Asia with reference to the Veda. It tries to understand how emerging regional cultures created conditions for, inspired, and accommodated differently configured projects of bringing out printed editions of Vedic texts.

THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG PRESS
This book presents a systematic but critical account of the beginnings, development, and history of the process of canonization in Hindi via such exemplary figures as George Grierson, Garcin de Tassy, Ramchandra Shukla, Hazari Prasad Dwivedi, Muktibodh, Namwar Singh, and Nirmal Verma, among others. It proposes an intellectual history of Hindi criticism in the twentieth century, which today faces the challenges of a decanonization move in the form of feminist and Dalit thought. $35.00 / £30.00 cloth 978-81-934015-9-0 2019 200 pages
